10 Things to do in Gold Coast That You Shouldn't Miss

October 22, 2021 Merry Kessler

The windy city is a cornucopia of modern art, fine dining, cutting edge comedy, and die-hard sports fans. Snap a photo of your reflection in the silver Cloud Gate sculpture at Millennium Park before heading to Grant Park to get hit with the refreshing spray of Buckingham Fountain. There are dozens of museums and theater companies in Chicago, so a cultural experience is never hard to find. You’re sure to laugh your head off at the Second City Theater, the professional launch pad of many famous comedians.

Charnley-Persky House

Reviewed By ColmR47 - Chicago, United States

I really enjoyed this tour of one of the few examples of Louis Sullivan designed homes. The tour guide was super informative and great to see the interior of the house in such good condition. Nice job by the Society of Architectural Historians maintaining the building and permitting us to wander through their offices. Well worth the visit + very close to downtown.

As someone being in the medical field, I really enjoyed this museum. They are still adding stuff to the exhibits, but I would recommend.
